Each month our Classic Album Sundays Patreon Members gather from all corners of the globe to explore, discuss and listen to our Album of the Month online. This August, our Album of the Month is Nightmares on Wax’s third studio album ‘Carboot Soul’ and we will meet up on Wednesday, the 21st August at 8pm BST on Zoom. The Album Club is open to our Patreon Members and higher tiered subscribers. If you would like to join us, you can become a Patreon Member here.
The Album Club is kind of like a book club but centred around albums and it started as a monthly online gathering during the pandemic but we have been having so much fun, we have kept it going. Plus the online nature allows album fans from around the world to participate. This is how it works:

A couple of days before our online Album Club, you will receive a Musical Lead-Up playlist featuring 10 songs that will whet your appetite for our featured album. The playlist will feature the artist’s inspirations, contemporaries, and their own work. You will also receive the Zoom details for the Album Club meet up.
On the day of the Album Club, click on that Zoom link! Doors open at 7:45pm BST (come in early and say hello!) and then the session starts promptly at 8pm BST.
Colleen then tells the story behind the album. This is also recorded so that Members who are unable to attend in real time will get a private link for the video presentation.
The album will then be played in its entirety without interruption. You can either listen via Colleen’s stream on Zoom or you can listen to your own copy on your own sound system.
After the album replay, we all discuss the album and share our thoughts – just like a book club. Its a lot of fun for people who are musically adventurous and who love exploring albums. I hope you can join us.
